No, if you used to use CPAN.pm as root, then instead say this:
sudo tar cf - .cpan -C ~root | tar xvf - -C ~
sudo rm -r ~root/.cpan
The first line simply produces a copy of .cpan from ~root

That does of course mean that any user can run any command at all as
root, pass

^^
That should be "$@" or else it will get confused by spaces.
On a related note, that sort of thing is generally useful for those of us who
find typing ./Build just a little more annoying than "make".
